Method

Step 1

Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add half the lamb and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until brown all over. Transfer to a slow cooker. Repeat with remaining lamb. Sprinkle the lamb in the slow cooker with the split peas.

Step 2

Heat remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the onion, chilli, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Add the cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, cardamom and coriander and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until aromatic. Add the tomato and coconut milk and stir to combine. Pour over the lamb.

Step 3

Cook for 4 hours on high (or 6 hours on low) or until lamb is tender. Add pumpkin and cook for a further 30 mins or until tender. Taste and season.

Step 4

Meanwhile, to make the coconut rice, combine the rice, coconut milk and 1½ cups (375ml) water in a medium saucepan. Season with salt. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, for 12 mins or until liquid is absorbed. Set aside, covered, for 5 mins to rest. Serve with the curry.

Cook, partially covered, for 2 hours or until tender, adding the pumpkin in the last 20 mins of cooking.
